Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Every item, though singlular in attributes, was precisely what Zhou Baiyu needed—shade.

Being a Peeker, he could also see the information of the items.

Luo Hui could barely understand and was profoundly shocked.

He was an extremely rational person.

Although he had always been helping Zhou Baiyu, it was because he was well aware that not helping would not improve the situation, and helping Zhou Baiyu was not difficult for him.

Possibly, he might need Zhou Baiyu's help in the future.

Perhaps not for escaping from here, but in human relationships, it's always about mutual support.

But to say he had great expectations of Zhou Baiyu, that would be false.

Yet at that moment, those expectations Luo Hui harbored truly began to awaken!

Xinkui, witnessing this scene, was so moved that he teared up.

The seemingly endless mutative process was surprisingly completed in the span of a moment upon the activation of Absolute Moment.

Sky Eye, Gatherer, Mutator, different walker—the pioneers all ignited a tremendous hope—

As if... it was truly possible to lift this veil of night.

But next, Zhou Baiyu returned to his normal state—

Fifteen minutes.

Compared to the five minutes duration of the previous dice roll, the normal activation time of Absolute Moment was longer.

More items were able to be mutated.

Zhou Baiyu probably mutated sixty prison uniforms and incidentally mutated the bed too, the noteworthy part being that he casually dismantled it into pieces.

The mutated ability of the bed was also strange—flexibility.

After accomplishing these, Zhou Baiyu relaxed completely, his expression serene.

Fifteen minutes later, he was so exhausted that he passed out. The immense exhaustion brought by Absolute Moment and verifying whether it could be initiated without artifacts had left him nearly tormenting himself for about a month.

After Absolute Moment dissipated, Zhou Baiyu fell directly into a deep sleep.

The pleasantness came too suddenly and briefly, leaving the pioneers feeling as if it had ended before it even started.

It seemed like entering a state akin to becoming one with the heavens... Xinkui felt somewhat bitter inside.

Xianwu felt the same, witnessing the scatter of the red lifelines in an instant, he always felt shortchanged, that Jiang Xianwu should have cherished this state more, and done something bigger.

But what to do? Clashing with the eternal night? That seemed unrealistic...

Luo Hui, however, was the calmest among them, with the least expectations and minimal disappointment.

He quietly watched Zhou Baiyu, thinking:

Though he has passed out, his reaction is much calmer than ours. To enter such a mystical state, must be... for any Mutator, it is a rare opportunity.

Jiang Xianwu, what exactly are you scheming?

...

...

The brilliance brought by Absolute Moment was too fleeting, so fleeting it seemed like a dream that ends upon the slightest touch.

After waking from the dream, everyone returned to their previous life rhythms.

Mutator Xinkui, unable to do much more, could only contribute his positive mutations as best he could.

Meanwhile, Luo Hui continued to monitor the changes in the night demons, playing a counter-espionage role.

Xianwu still kept gathering lifelines.

The difference, however, was that Zhou Baiyu began to search for various items.

He still tried to mutate every day, because through mutation, it was possible to initiate Absolute Moment.

To enter Absolute Moment again, it required torturous trials that could last a long time.

Last time it was over a month, this time it might be two months, or even three or four months...

But Zhou Baiyu always had a sense of urgency. He knew it would take a long time before Absolute Moment could be initiated again.

But as long as it could be initiated, it was merely a matter of accumulating time.

And he had to be prepared to initiate it at any time, ready to battle the eternal night.

Last time, he had mutated many prison uniforms.

These uniforms were distributed to those people Zhou Baiyu and Yun Duo had interacted with over the months in the Land of No Light, those with the highest reputation, influence, and leadership skills.

Utilizing Yun Duo's relationship with them, and the functional benefits from the prison uniforms, this group of people finally awoke to hope.

Each one of them had the ability to rally hundreds with a single call. As long as these people could believe in the miracle, believe that Jiang Xianwu could achieve it...

Then they would become the sparks that, once ignited, would cause other people in the Land of No Light to respond immediately, creating a widespread blaze.

Of course, this was the ideal scenario.

Zhou Baiyu truly believed in the spark within human hearts. He definitely wanted to believe that everyone had a point within that could erupt.

But he didn't believe that everything would be so ideal.

In the current environment, he and Yun Duo, Xianwu, Xinkui, Luo Hui, and many others who had been persuaded, were all intensely preparing for battle.

They were far from comfortable—in fact, one could say they lived in pain every day.

In the endless night, with no sense of time or sight of light, each night, even if it did not occur in the sea of night, it was very possible that due to past habits, because of being tortured by nightmares in the sea of night... they dreamed of those twisted realities.

Zhou Baiyu had more than once dreamed of such things: his parents divorcing, Zhang Haoyun giving up on himself, colleagues giving up on life due to the stress of dealing with suicides every day,

or the world simply being invaded by twisted rules.

In such an environment, they were indeed suffering.

But deep down, Zhou Baiyu was still prepared to face even greater pain.

These days, Zhou Baiyu had been doing three things—

Mutating prison uniforms.

Together with Yun Duo, understanding more people, deepening interactions.
